I'm taking the plunge one step at a time -- Just bought a CF-IDE adapter, etc. and will see how that goes. Next step would be the battery re-cell, then the RAM. I'm not sure if I…

I wouldn't paint it unless it needs the paint, as that would basically kill it as a mint specimen. As for the CF card, a re-celled battery and more ram, it's a question of how dee…

Building up an obsolete machine is something you do for the love it rather than because you need a more powerful machine. As you stated, more powerful machines are cheaper than bui…

Right -- thanks. Very interesting piece of kit -- didn't know this was possible until running across this thread. http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-to-44-Pin-LAPTOP-IDE-Hard-Drive-Adapter-b…

For Desktop Devices Click to expand... So no. You want one for a 2.5" laptop IDE/ATA connection, which is a much smaller 44 pin connector. And I'd look for a single ended one…

Here's what I'm thinking of doing... I have a Powerbook Duo 2300c (It's listed as FS in the trading post but I'm not seeing a lot of interest and its just *so* cute.... ) The…

Ok, I just opened up the iMac (I accidentally cracked some plastic off while lifting off the bottom housing, but don't worry, the iMac still works just as it did before), and had a…

Hi, Ok, in a bit I'll open the iMac and see if there's a dead battery. (Even if it's fine, I'll probably replace it anyway.) Now, you mentioned resetting the PMU. Let me remind…

so why do you want to whatch video on a server? get a card that has core image support and you may be ok with video. Id get a geforce 5200 and flash it to mac. its teh cheapest ca…

Thanks for the help guys, Don't really have a NEED for DV, at least on this Mac, just curious. I wanted to use leopard because of built in screen sharing as I'm running the mac h…

Man, you are totally right, paws. IGNORE ME! I guess I forgot "Yikes!". Maybe because it's an exclamation? But yeah, since my brain no workie today (I'm moving again and doing int…

Your Sawtooth uses a 66MHz PCI video card (if it has AGP, it's not a Sawtooth) which is markedly slower, regardless of the fact that the two chipsets are virtually identical (both …

Yes it's Leopard's fault all the way. My Dual 450MHz chokes with video in leopard. Tiger, works fine.

Leopard may be part of your issue, as it's more processor-intensive than its predecessors. It's not even officially supposed to run on less than an 867MHz G4, if that's any indicat…

Hello all, Just got a Sawtooth G4 - specs are as follows 500mhz 1GB RAM Leopard 10.5.4 / MacOS 9.1 on the same 120gb drive. stock 16mb rage 128 pro DVI For whatever reason, t…

Now it has 9.2.1 on the third partition. Man does this thing fly in the Classic OS. I'm too excited for words. I've run Battery Reset after heebiejeebies put me on to it. I'll …

Yes, it did cross my mind when you joined up. The other macdan is a bit of a Powerbook guru. Click to expand... I'm just some noob that gets lucky.

So have you tried bridging the two pins? Have some random Combo drive in my Pismo (from a Dell Pentium 4 notebook), did the same mod and it works a treat booting now. The Pismo s…
